Project Update: [Sisters of the Dawn] - Addressing the controversy / poll reminder
Hi all,
So you may or may not have seen this video where the Order of the Dark Wheel is apparently not too happy with the TTRPG that we're making, and I wanted to address some of the points directly.
If you'd like to watch the full apology video, you can find it on Instagram or on TikTok.
Firstly, for legal reasons, I've been advised to let you know that while the idea of throwing fireballs and using magic against ICE agents is indeed part of the allure of this game, I do need to clarify that the contemporary adventure that is packaged with the game is a situation where a rogue branch of the Order doing the protest agitating.
I did not mean to imply that the Order of the Dark Wheel, as a whole, has anything to do with the police state, nor with white supremacy organizations.
I fully understand that the Order of the Dark Wheel is an anti-racist, anti-fascist organization that, while may be trying to exterminate life on earth by summoning hordes of demons, is devoted to improving the world in the meantime and welcomes anyone into their fold, regardless of race, class, ethnic background, gender, ability, age, or immigration status, especially given their nature as an international organization.
I've been explicitly asked to point people towards this phrase in the Order handbook:

I've been explicitly asked to point people towards this phrase in the Order handbook:
...[D]iscrimination is not allowed here at the Order. We invite members of all nationalities, ethnic backgrounds, class, ability, age, gender, and sexual orientation to join.
I'm sorry to all the Order members who feel maligned by the copy written on the BackerKit campaign page, and I will update it over the weekend to reflect the fact that the agitators are a rogue group of Order members.
Thank you for your time and consideration, and if you haven't yet backed, now is a great time to do so, as any additional funds will go towards any legal expenses in terms of dealing with the Order.
Otherwise, Happy Friday the 13th and I hope you all have a safe and awesome weekend.
Cheers,
Rick
